Log Management
Future-Proof Your Hybrid IT Operations

Managing log data across hybrid IT environments, including mainframes and distributed systems, creates significant challenges for demonstrating regulatory compliance. Without a unified, audit-proof system, enterprises spend weeks manually preparing for audits, increasing the risk of penalties and reputational damage. Existing fragmented tools often lack tamper-proof logging and comprehensive reporting, leaving gaps in compliance and inefficiencies.

Securing log data from various sources – Mainframe, Windows, Linux/Unix, SAP – and ensuring its integrity against modification or falsification is a complex task in hybrid IT. Data sovereignty concerns, especially in Europe, add another layer of complexity, requiring strict adherence to local regulations. Many current systems lack robust protection against fraud and comprehensive access rights management, leaving critical log information vulnerable and non-compliant.

The impending retirement of experienced mainframe professionals and the proliferation of disparate log management tools across cloud and on-premises systems create critical skills gaps and operational silos. This fragmentation hinders unified visibility and control, making it difficult to troubleshoot issues quickly and leading to operational inefficiencies. Traditional approaches often require specialized knowledge for each system, exacerbating the skills shortage and preventing a cohesive IT strategy.

Managing vast volumes of log data generated by workload automation systems can significantly impact performance, particularly on mainframes, and incur substantial operational costs. Inefficient storage, slow retrieval, and the lack of intelligent processing lead to resource drain and hinder rapid issue resolution. Existing log management solutions often fail to optimize resource utilization, such as zIIP processors, or provide flexible retention policies, resulting in unnecessary expenditures and performance bottlenecks.

Beta LogZ streamlines the rollout of configuration elements across multiple plexes in complex multi-plex environments. Our system intelligently manages configuration changes, automatically updating existing records when a new configuration with a duplicate identifier is introduced. This ensures consistency and prevents errors without manual intervention. This innovation simplifies deployment, ensures consistency across development, test, and production systems, and mitigates the risk of configuration errors.

Our solution integrates comprehensive event log data, enriching job information with critical performance metrics and statistical values. This deep insight enables robust capacity planning, precise identification of performance bottlenecks, and supports data-driven optimization across your entire IT landscape, ensuring efficient resource utilization.

Beta LogZ extends Scan Definitions to not only extract text but also trigger events with a specific ID, linking log content to enterprise-wide system automation. The new Message Event Action issues free-form message IDs and text as system messages, appearing in the system log and on the console. This capability enables seamless integration with systems like IBM SA, allowing automated actions such as updating dashboards, sending push notifications, and executing MVS commands, bridging the gap between log-based events and system-wide automation.

Our solution effectively manages extensive output lists, enabling flexible processing and intelligent archiving. Rather than discarding large volumes of data, it intelligently routes them for specialized handling and efficient long-term storage, preventing system overload and ensuring compliance with GRC standards. This enables tailored retention policies, such as shorter online retention for large lists that quickly move to archive pools, preventing spool overload and ensuring efficient long-term data storage in compliance with GRC standards.

Ensure regulatory adherence with tamper-proof logging, real-time reporting, and centralized audit trails. Reduce audit preparation from weeks to hours, confidently meeting global standards.

Gain unified visibility and control across mainframe and distributed systems. Our solution integrates seamlessly, eliminating operational silos and enabling cross-platform log analysis without a rip-and-replace approach.
